Caryss is in Origin.

Caryss is a modern English feminine name that blends the Welsh Carys/Cerys with the Greek Charis. From Welsh roots - caru “to love” and cariad “love, darling” - it carries the sense of “beloved.” Through its overlap with Charis (Greek χάρις), it also evokes “grace,” “kindness,” and “favor.” Pronunciations typically mirror its cousins: KAIR-iss or KAR-iss. The double s visually nods to Carissa and Charissa, names influenced by Latin carus “dear” as well as Greek Charis.

Use of Carys/Cerys rose in Wales during the 20th century and spread to wider English-speaking regions; Caryss is a rarer, contemporary respelling chosen for distinction while preserving the same tender meaning. Close variants and related forms include Carys, Cerys, Caris, Karis, Charis, Carissa, Karissa, and Charissa. The name’s appeal lies in its layered associations - love and grace - paired with a sleek, modern silhouette.
